About Us

It’s a Non for Profit association, officially incorporated in Edmonton in February 2009. However the Cameroonian community of Edmonton has been participating in the life of this city since the early 1980s. Because of its small size then, the need for incorporating the association did not seem critical. However, since early 2000, the community has consistently grown in number to warrant incorporating the association.

Our Vision

The vision of the CAE-ACE is to allow its members to promote and strengthen a feeling of belonging. A spirit of unity and solidarity in order to foster integration and achievement of full potential in the new land they proudly call home. The ultimate goal is to ensure a clear and strong visibility of the Cameroonian community in Edmonton. This can only be achieved by working closely with all regional associations emerging in town as they promote our cultural diversity by bringing together Cameroonians from the same ethnic area/group.

The Cameroonian Association of Edmonton is a dynamic structure, aspiring to the welfare of people of Cameroonian origin residing Edmonton. It strives to create an environment favourable to its members’ Professional integration, education, as well as making available to its members an environment that fosters knowledge of cultural values of their new environment.

Furthermore, the community wishes to mark the City of Edmonton’s by its imprint, by participating in a wide variety of city programs, projects and volunteer activities such as the city clean up, educational assistance to children in difficulty, to name a few.

The organization and functioning of the association are governed by 3 core values: INTEGRITY – RESPECT – SOLIDARITY
